Ratings: ABC Takes Back Total Viewers With ‘DWTS’

ABC took back its total viewer post last night thanks to “Dancing With the Stars.”

ABC was second in ratings with a 1.4/5 and first in viewers with 9 million. “DWTS” at 8 earned a 1.6/5 and 11.3 million viewers. “Conviction” at 10 had a 0.8/3 and 4.3 million viewers.

CBS was third in ratings with a 1.3/4 and in viewers with 6.3 million. “Kevin Can Wait” at 8 got a 1.6/5 and 7.1 million viewers. At 8:30, “Man With a Plan” posted a 1.3/4 and 6.2 million viewers. At 9, “2 Broke Girls” put up a 1.2/4 and 5.2 million viewers. “The Odd Couple” at 9:30 received a 1.0/3 and 4.7 million viewers. At 10, “Scorpion” closed primetime to a 1.2/4 and 7.2 million viewers.

Fox was fourth in ratings with a 1.1/4 and in viewers with 3.7 million. “Gotham” at 8 had a 1.2/4 and 3.6 million viewers. At 9, “Lucifer” got a 1.1/4 and 3.9 million viewers.
